Rhyming a stressed with an unstressed syllable was, once upon a time, something I objected to as "not a rhyme." Now I do it once in a while, as a source of variety, but only in poems built mainly with off-rhymes; for example, I've rhymed "lies" and "blowflies". I don't expect readers to alter stress from their normal pronunciations; I just ask them to accept an unusual pairing.
